How Fernando Mendoza’s Unstoppable Rise Led Indiana to an Unthinkable College Football Playoff Triumph

Mendoza delivered the signature moment of this playoff with his 12-yard touchdown run on a fourth-and-4 play to extend Indiana’s lead to 24-14 in the fourth quarter. He also avoided any turnovers while getting harassed all night by Miami’s superstar defensive line duo of Rueben Bain and Akheem Mesidor.
All three of those players were easy choices for the Associated Press’ all-playoff team. As we did with our all-bowl team that included top players from all the non-playoff bowl games, we made room for four defensive linemen, four linebackers and five defensive backs to account for all different types of defensive schemes.
